CAR file generation in JS/TS

[longfeiWan9]

Currently, the demo also using CLI command to generate CAR for files. (e.g. code is here).

It is not a practical example for our integration patterns. So we need to consider to implement that process in JavaScript or TypeScript.

@longfeiWan9 car generation is easy, one can do the go implementation directly as in CLI, we did it in @Eastore-project 's fildeal cli here https://github.com/Eastore-project/fildeal/blob/master/src/deal/utils/generateCar.go, maybe it helps.

Thanks @lordshashank. I am thinking for the general use case, dApps are going to upload data from the front-end most likely. So car generation will probably need to be done in JavaScript or Typescript instead of Go.

I created a hyper simple web app that generates car files in javascript for us to extend.

We should figure out what web app starter kit we want to use but this will be easily pluggable into whatever we do https://github.com/FIL-Builders/filecoin-car-app
